Control Functions
Raise, Lower, Float, Angle
Moving the control lever in straight lines up and down
or from side to side on the control body will result in
the following blade movements:
Note: If control function times out before desired
blade movement is complete, release the lever
to the center position, then move back into the
desired function.
Function Time-Outs
All control functions, except LOWER/Float, time out
(stop) automatically after a period of time. This is to
limit the amount of electrical energy required from the
vehicle.
While the operation of the XLS™ and XtremeV™
controls are the same, the time-outs vary.
Note: If control function times out before desired
blade movement is complete, release the lever
to the center position, then move back into the
desired function.
Automatic Shutdown
The control will automatically turn OFF after being
idle for 20 minutes. To reactivate the control after a
shutdown, move the ON/OFF switch to OFF, then back
to ON.
Smooth Stop
The control automatically allows the blade to coast to
a stop when the lever returns to center position. This
results in smoother operation, reduces shock to the
hydraulic system and increases hose and valve life.
Control Lever Movement
From the center position, the control lever can be
moved in one of eight (8) directions to control various
movements of the snowplow blade. To change from
one movement of the blade to another, the control
lever must be moved back to the center position
before selection the desired function. Whenever the
lever is released, it should spring back into the center
position to stop any blade movement.
